January Embroidery

First embroidery piece of 2024! Really like how this one turned out and love the colour scheme I used- the colourful background really makes the black and white bird stand out. I made this as a gift for a friend, the bird is based on one of her lino prints: check out her Etsy shop here (spoiler alert: she's really, really good) to see her work.

This was made in a 6 inch hoop, and I used satin stitch for the background, with a combination of satin, long/ short and back stitch for the bird.
